Letters of recommendation
Working for a regional and I’m curious on how you guys got your letters of recommendations?
I’ve been told to ask jump seaters when they fly with me but I asked a delta guy and he shut me down, haha. I don’t think it was my flying, he just said he didn’t know me. Anyone have a better approach? Another way was to ask around my current regional and see who’s moving up to the majors, but finding someone that’s moving on that happens to be flying with me has become ineffective too.
How have you been approached for a letter or how did you get your letters? Thanks!

A jumpseater you just met is a no-go. What’s the millennial term? “I just can’t.”

Join an organization like OBAP, WIA. Or even alpa "pilots in schools" if you feel inclined. Actually volunteer and contribute to the organization, and you'll meet tons of contacts who will be happy to write you a recommendation.
